H/D slash, AU. It's England in the 1640's; Charles Stuart is on the throne and the threat of Civil War is drawing ever closer.

"It... seemed like we had nothing else left but each other. We thought we were going to die. The crushing feeling of realising you only have an hour or so left to live was... like nothing else I've been through.``We were both desperate for comfort... but, we weren't thinking about each other. Does that make it worse? ``Probably. We both regretted it, anyway.``I always will." H/Hr, one-sided D/H.

It's 1975 - MWPP are in Fourth Year, while Lucius Malfoy is in Seventh.``This fic explores their year at school, focusing on Remus and Lucius, and the emotions that develop between them.``Slash in later chapters.
